Jack Monroe #542 A dullard talking about Vienetta

[RandomFishOils]

Ah yes, sold her “Ford Kia”, Jack’s car that didn’t actually exist as a make and model.

Decided not to drive as a teenager, bullied into lessons she HATED and stopped because “the novelty wore off” and talks about “friends who possess motorised vehicles” (which strongly suggests she does not herself possess a “motorised vehicle”).

So let me get this right. She wasn’t eligible for the role of Macebearer because it entails driving all over the county instead of catching a bus and carrying a frigging heavy mace.

But she was offered a community fire safety job which entails… driving all over the county instead of catching a bus carrying a frigging heavy rucksack of fire alarms, educational materials and safety devices.

I would have imagined that most if not all of these community fire safety jobs, such as the one below, require a driving licence as part of the essential criteria, especially in counties such as Essex and Hampshire which have huge swathes of countryside where buses run a couple of times per week if you’re lucky. https://hants.sharepoint.com/sites/...=/sites/IBCS8679/Shared Documents&p=true&ga=1

Unless you have an actual diagnosed disability, not having a driver's license in the 21st century is not a protected characteristic Jack.

That's guest monroe. I recognise the tattoos. She can access her bank account and travel abroad with ID like that.

Her kitchen makes me want to call a cleaning company.
---

It is and she painted it with nail varnish iirc. But that might be wrong. She definitely painted it to an ugly glittery pink.

Wait what? I'm sure you're right, she's a loon, but it's literally available in pink

Also I searched jack monroe pink mixer cos I wanted to see her version, I didn't find it but I did find her big cartel postcard shop. Lol. I'm about to enjoy browsing it but I had to ask, how on earth is the £24 framed version of this sold out? jesus h Christ

ETA I've figured it out. The copper version costs twice as much, so of course

ETA again oh my god what the tit is this

This is for sale. Wtf. Yes please, filthy fingernails and visible nipples. just what you want from decorative photographs

 

[RandomFishOils]

Where are the safety pins?

Who knows? She made it up, so they could be inside the jumper and outside, even though we can’t see them.

“New release Three Foot Jumper there from Southend-based quartet Schrödinger’s Safety Pins.”

 

[BeardyBap]

I've no problem believing that she bought a Ford Ka (yes, she's dumb enough to call it a Kia, but the editor should have caught it) on a whim, to learn in. (Not relevant, but that's what I did too).
Having been humiliated by not being able to learn to drive, flogged the car, mentioned it once then never again, and became rabidly anti motorised transport? Entirely in character.

 

[Valiofthedolls]

"BRAZENLY" walking into shops though - get over yourself guset

Really shows up how unaccustomed she is to the real world of jobhunting imo. Even nowadays, eleven years after she wrote this, the majority of jobs are filled without ever being advertised, through networking. I was claiming JSA around that period, and it was expected that you make speculative applications online, by phone or in person. There's nothing brazen about it, it's just what you do when you're looking for work. I work in a shop now, and we get people coming in regularly asking if we're looking for staff, and sometimes we are, and sometimes they end up being taken on.

I'm absolutely convinced that all the 2384 jobs in her work history are either 1: made up 2: nepo jobs (from chamber maid to chip shop to the fire service) 3: places that were understaffed and desperate and then quickly realised that she was a workshy, self-absorbed bleep 4: also made up

As someone who lives in a post-industrial Midlands city where the factories have closed and the high streets have been dying for the last 20 years - she was extraordinarily lucky to be living in a city with dozens of major supermarkets, high street stores and independent shops, and with excellent public transport links and infrastructure. Not to mention that as a coastal resort, there would have been jobs in hotels and caravan parks, cafes, restaurants, pubs, amusements arcades etc. She could easily have found an entry-level job and worked her way up if she actually wanted to work.

It’s the absolute level of entitlement, arrogance (and downright bleeping disdain for everyone and everything she clearly thinks is beneath her) oozing from her every bleeping pore that really gets to me. bleeping Macebearer to the Mayoralty, the Commonwealth Political Affairs Division and Overseeing hospital food provision in the UK. Oh, and ghastly minimum wage jobs from people who won’t even take my CV

Actually, every single word of that post from March 13th.

Spoiler: Screenie

She could be the Chief Executive of being perennially bleeping deluded though, I’ll give her that.

Seriously, how can anyone be that much of an insufferable bleep at 24?

Wankee Wanker indeed (as always ❤to @People-huv-tae-know for one of the best ever tattle posts)

Is that a Kitchen Aid mixer there? Very pricey. Do we have this in the list of expensive tit?

The KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer Honey comes with a 5 year manufacturers guarantee, whisk, dough hook, beater and 2 stainless steel bowls.

Yes it's on the list. Jack painted hers with what looked like pink sparkly nail varnish.
She took a brand new (£500? £600?) expensive object and completely trashed it in a whim.
Much poors.

 

[BeardyBap]

Somebody really needed to take five minutes to show her how to write a bleeping CV.

Lol yeah I can imagine the four pages of closely spaced Times New Roman 10pt with lots of bold and underline, detailing every book token and egg and spoon race win, plus every predicted GCSE result and quotes from the teachers about how clever she was

Spoiler: TW - me rail, poverty, abuse

This was my experience too although with my father not my mother. He was/is a narc and violent abuser. I panic about food running low too. I'm a binge eater, everyone says I inhale my food. They think it's funny but they don't know why I do it. I couldn't eat slowly if I tried either, I can't help it. He always spent the money on drink or designer clothes for himself. We were not even allow Kwik Save chocolate. We never had any fresh food beyond carrots, peas, cabbage and apples. It was very much a meat and two veg household. When I tried peppers and tomatoes for the first time, I could not believe the flavours. Thanks to some really good friends I got try all sorts of meals like curries, pasta and stir fry (vegan versions) which blew my taste buds. I love stir fry especially and I batch cook three different ones on rotation. I have some digestives issues now and am sadly intolerant to tomatoes and very spicy foods but can still manage a mild korma. We were poor and living on one wage on and off, often cash jobs. It was bleak and cold a lot of the time. We lived in a flat with bare walls and no heating. It was full of mould. I can't stand mould now. But fortunately I only see it occasionally on the bathroom ceiling.
The other think that stresses me is mess. The house had to be immaculate for him although he never lifted a finger. When he whistled, we jumped, if he didn't like something or it was done to his exacting standards then he was violent with us. Ive got to clean and tidy as soon as I see mess.
I collect blankets too. I never want to feel as cold as I did in my childhood.
I'll never forgive him for what he did to my siblings, me but most of all my poor mother. He took advantage of her, she barely spoke English and was a decade younger than him. He isolated her from her her friends and family, everytime she wanted to go back he would threaten suicide. He subjected her to misery and torture and took her best years from her. The anxiety that develops from that is immense and all consuming. Its hard to relax or stop looking over my shoulder even though he is currently residing at one of HRH's residences. My husband wants to batter the shite out of him for what he did to us. Poverty and abuse have far reaching effects and it can affect those who were not directly involved. We have had therapy but it's not cured things. My brother really sufferers with depression and suicidal thoughts to this day despite anti D's and having a therapist. I really worry about it and it never would have come to this if he had not been abused as a child.

Guest has no idea, none whatsoever. My experience of the narc makes me worry for SB and I have always feared she has been violent with him based in post on her own admittance to violence but also my personal experience. I truly hope not though. I must admit that when I was a teen, I resented my mother for not getting us out and away from him sooner. As an adult though I understand why she couldn't. But children do start to question these things. I have no doubt that SB will be think similar things in a few years. I just hope that he has at least one reliable relative he can lean on. My grandparents were my rocks, They gave us rare bright spots and warmth. Once they found out what had been happening, they contacted the police and rescued us. I'll never forget what they did for us. I love them so much and I miss them so bad, I still cry when I think about them. SB needs someone like that.

I really worry about it and it never would have come to this if he had not been abused as a child.

I often think that this is what the Bible means when it says the sins of the fathers are visited upon the children, up to the third or fourth generation. A parent like that damages children so much that some of them, even as adult, can't parent their own (I'm not saying that you have had this difficulty - but I know some people do), and it needs time to "grow out' of the family.

I think she was fibby fibbing when she said she was offered that community fire safety job. She APPLIED for it, but they didn’t want her.

They REALLY did not want her

Even more mortifying for nepo baby Jack given that Saint Daddy’s “a union man”

The syrup dripping off the edge of the plate in such a haphazard way always gives me as much anxiety as the dirty fingernails/nip nip gives me disgust. Imagine how sticky it would be and how hard it would be to clean syrup off the scary rug she's got lol.

Where are the safety pins?

Probably keeping her unruly labia out of the way.

Now I'm reading her 2014 interview in psychologies and lol at this message

Much foreshadowing

Yeah to me this sounds exactly like what I said rather than a favourite toy - which surely at that age would have gone to his dad’s with him for the weekend too. It’s gone through the Jack exaggeration then been subject to a bit of Frauen telephone whispers and somehow become his favourite much loved toy but it doesn’t sound like that’s the reality to me.

She’s cleared out some of his toys, recounted the tale with her best sad face on and the middle class standard, guardian and NYT journos have been horrified by the idea of selling toys and here we are.

She’s still an utter tit if she’s done it perfomatively or done it while making sure to hold onto her own stuff but as ever with her, I don’t think it’s quite how it sounds.

On the car, I’ve always assumed it came from her parents. They seem a “car for 17th birthday” kind of family to me.

 

[rage naan]

bleeping hell at this. In lieu of maintenance? What's that supposed to mean? I've never seen a custody arrangement described like that. This is pure conjecture but it sounds like she described him in the most disparaging possible way. "Oh yeah he won't pay up so instead I force him to look after the kid."
Surely he's paying for the kids upkeep while he has him, & surely joint custody is so the kid can be looked after by both parents, both of whom want to spend time with him, not a punitive financial arrangement. This one really annoys me and I'm struggling to express exactly why but you get the idea.

I wonder what would happen if a few people ordered some items from that Big Cartel shop, didn't have them delivered (because Jack is never going to send them) then raised a Paypal dispute?
For a £3 set of postcards, I think I can afford to take a chance - Paypal will refund that to me anyway.
It won't take many of them to get her Paypal account closed.



In a totally unrelated question, how many Frau (und Herren) have a paypal account?

A quick sweep of the hellsite and she’s nothing more than a punchline to jokes. This is quite funny though.

I wouldnt be surprised if she isnt shagging the head person at paypal... whut? A girls gotta eat. Its honestly startling how much she gets paid to talk absolute bollocks all of the time.
